Product Description

Note: The 5kg and 25kg block options are a solid block of cacao butter. They do not come in individual 1kg packets.

The beans used to make our organic cacao butter are grown in the Peruvian amazon, the spiritual home of cacao. Our beans are 100% organic raw Criollo cacao beans, prized for their superior flavour over other varieties.

Our cacao products are neither roasted nor Dutch processed (alkalized), making them raw. This cacao butter has not been refined/deodorised meaning that its amazing chocolate scent remains. There are a variety of uses for cacao butter but it is most commonly used to make chocolate and making homemade soap and moisturisers.

Cacao and Peru have a long history together, with the fruit and its beans having been enjoyed by natives long before it was exported worldwide.

There are different varieties of cacao, however the Criollo variety is growing rapidly in popularity due to its higher quality resulting from greater fat content. Exquisite Peruvian cacao is well suited to agroforestry systems, which have less environmental impact compared to plantations in West Africa where it is typically grown in direct sunlight with fertilisers. This has led to substantial deforestation and makes Peruvian cacao a more sustainable option.

Almost all of Peru’s cacao is grown by small holders who rely on cacao’s weekly harvest (the main harvest is from April – September, known locally as la cosecha grande) as their main source of income. Their crop is then sold to cooperatives who act as intermediaries; the cacao is then processed in Peru before being trucked to Lima and exported to the UK where we lovingly package it before sending it to you

None of our cacao products contain any additives or preservatives. This is 100% cacao butter, nothing added, nothing taken away!

*High street price is based on price in a well known high street health store. Price calculated as equivalent price per gram at time of writing and may change over time without us knowing. Where larger packs were not available on the high street total is calculated from purchasing multiple packs.

When I first bought the cocoa butter from nukraft I noticed how strong the smell of chocolate was compared to many other companies I’ve made purchases with. Nukraft is now my ‘go to’ supplier and I buy no less than 2kg at a time...sometimes 4kg for my hand made body butter

Excellent cocoa butter
